Beachcombing Lyrics - Mark Knopfler

They say there's wreckage washing up 

All along the coast 

No one seems to know too much 

Or who got hit the most 

Nothing has been spoken 

There's not a lot to see 

But something has been broken 

That's how it feels to me 

We had a harmony 

I never meant to spoil 

Now it's lying in the water 

Like a slick of oil 

The tide is running out to sea 

Under a darkening sky 

The night is falling down on me 

And I'm thinking that I should

Head on home 

(Head on home) 

Been gone too long 

(Gone too long) 

Leave my roaming 

Beachcombing 

Little wild kitten out hunting 

To see what he can get 

You're in a big city now 

That won't stop growing yet 

The sun is going down smoking 

A flaming testament 

Something has been broken 

And it feels permanent 

Little seabird flying 

He knows where he wants to go 

Guess I ought to pack my stuff 

And do the thing I know 

Photos 

I turn around and head on back 

Along the old sea wall 

I felt something give and crack 

And now I'm sorry that's all 

Head on home 

(Head on home) 

Been gone too long 

(Gone too long) 

Leave my roaming 

Beachcombing
